Enable creative nonclinical data package that gets you swiftly to first in human

Now it’s possible to realize up to 30% time savings in your drug development program and maximize the value of your asset. Gain early visibility to the right targets through robust lead optimization efforts. Once a promising candidate is identified, your dedicated Early Phase Development Solutions team aligns your nonclinical plan with relevant clinical endpoints and the best regulatory strategy to move your program forward. You’ll expeditiously transition your IND/CTA-enabling program into the clinic for your first in human and proof of concept studies – while maintaining the continuity of a dedicated team, strategy, molecule knowledge and data package.

Increase your scientific continuity with consulting

Translational science is rapidly advancing to incorporate personalized medicine. With our parent company, LabCorp, and translational biomarker expertise at Covance, you get comprehensive support for companion diagnostics (CDx) and complementary diagnostics, developed in parallel with your drug. Throughout the journey, you can count on strategic guidance to define your regulatory path, support diverse testing needs and ultimately streamline your operations all the way to commercialization.

Drive your decisions with real-world data

High screen failure rates and low enrollment are often the outcome of an overly complex protocol, directly impacting your time to market and patent life. With real-world data from the Covance Xcellerate® Clinical Trial Optimization® Suite and de-identified data from LabCorp patients, you’ll get expert evaluation of specific parameters in your protocol design during planning, development and execution to boost enrollment and reduce the risk of costly amendments.
